This project is part of the Minnesota Partnership for Biotechnology and Medical Genomics. The long term goal is to establish canine atopic dermatitis as a model of human atopic dermatitis in order to better understand the disease and develop treatments to help both dogs and humans.
We need healthy control dogs, dogs with no history of allergy or chronic conditions. We want to hear from you if you have a normal dog in this list:
- German Shepherd, 3 yr old
- Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier, 8 yr old
- Lab, 8 yr old and 9 yr old
We also need of dogs with year-round allergies from which we may take skin biopsies. For more information, please contact Dr. Torres.
